I think i explained most of my problems in the subject line, but here it is again.

I got my a320 less than a month ago, i played my games until today. i didnt drop it or anything like that, it just stopped working. I currently am looking at the WSOD and i cant reset it, turn it off, or get my computer to see that its plugged in. I've tried all the help guides here but all of them involve unbricking. What do i do if i've never updated the firmware, or bricked it? I can't get my computer to see it, so i can't flash it back to it orignal state. Any help would be awesome.

Hey man, i found your post. I was on crack, you said "side bar" and that through me off, cuz its my main menu on my phone, sorry. Anyway, i dnt know as of yet, how to fix this problem, but if you could illistrate to me, in detail, how the unit became like that, i would be happy to through one of my units into the same status, so i can work it over and discover a cure, if indeed one is possible. Okie doke? Im more of a hands on kind of learner. Kay, nice chat...

i played my gba emulator just fine one night, i plug it in to charge overnight, i get back to it in the morning, and when pulled out the usb to stop the charge it then turned into the wsod. no problems leading up to it,  it just freaked out and wsod itself. as i see it, i lost 100$ because i cant afford another one

I tried exactly that on my test unit, which i pretty much put through hell and back, and no dice. It didnt get the wsod like yours did. Im thinking though, that the motherboard or the screen got fried, cuz if it was the battery, i dnt think it would even be able to hold a charge or distribute power to the screen. Anyways, that sux man, i'll take it off your hands for the generous price of 45 usd. Your thoughts...

$45 is better than it being a $100 paperweight. How can i contact you? i will include the av cables, usb cord and charger and the un-pawed unit. (i only know its un-pawed because i had to use the no-paw fix version of the gameboy and gbc emu)
